[Avodah] Limited Mabul?

He quotes Y-mi Shekalim 26a, which discusses the Mediterannian
overflowing twice. See link for quote, Hebrew never worked well on
Avodah.

I'm not sure that can be used to explain the mabul, though. If
anything, the reverse: The two times in the gemara are dor Enosh and
dor hapelagah. (Then the gemara discusses the spacial extent of the
flooding.) In either case, it would seem that this disqualifies a
flooding event, even of the scale of flooding from the Barbary Coast
until Ako. As that is being described as flooding less noteworthy than
THE mabul.
